Summary Length‐Weight relationships (LWRs) for three Cyprinids ( Chela cachius , Devario devario and Securicula gora ) collected seasonally from May 2016 to January 2017 along the lower Brahmaputra drainage in Assam (Northeast India), using fishing gears [cast nets: 2.5 m, 10–15 mm mesh size; gillnets: 30 × 0.9 m, 18–20 mm mesh size], were estimated. The ‘ b ’ values of the LWR estimates ranged from 3.39 for C. cachius , 3.14 for D. devario , and 2.97 for S. gora respectively.
